Please pay a little more attention to what the title of the article, and the article itself, talks about.
Although I suspect that you haven't even read it. "secret peace efforts" has not been mentioned in the article not even once. The article talks about a (lost) possibility of a partial cease-fire.
Have you heard of the DYOR concept? Over 21 thousand messages on an investment-based forum, and you still haven't learned to analyze the presented material first, before entering a discussion? This is a rhetorical question. Something I recommend you meditate on.
